The subatomic particle that identifies the atom is the number of protons. This is what distinguishes an element that is is flammmable, hydrogen to one that is essential component in water, oxygen.
Answer:
Octane - Formula: C8H^18 = Carbon^8 + Hydrogen^18
Explanation: Octane is a compound because there are 8 atoms of carbon and 18 atoms of hydrogen in one molecule of C8H18. There are also 8 moles of carbon and 18 moles of hydrogen.
The chemical equation is:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
First, we calculate the moles of methane present using:
Moles = mass / molecular mass
Moles = 20 / 16
Moles = 1.25
Next, we may observe from the chemical equation that the molar ratio between methane and oxygen is 1 : 2
So the moles of oxygen required are 2 x 1.25
2.5 moles of oxygen required
Mass = moles * molecular mass
Mass = 2.5 * 32
Moles = 80

Answer:
The two molecules of acetyl-CoA that are produced from a molecule of glucose goes through two turn in the citric acid cycle, one for each molecule of acetyl-CoA.
Explanation:
Glycolysis the process by which a molecule of glucose is broken down in a series of steps to yield two molecules of pyruvate. The overall equation for the reactions of glycolsis is given below:
Glucose + 2NAD+ ----> 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H⁺
Each of the two pyruvate molecules produced from glucose breakdown is further oxidized to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and CO₂ each.
2 Pyruvate ----> 2 AcetylCoA + 2CO₂
Each of the acetyl-CoA molecule then enters the citric acid cycle for its oxidation. In each turn of the cycle, one acetyl group enters as acetyl-CoA and two molecules of CO₂ leave.
